The key to this zippy cilantro lime chicken recipe is the golden skin. Avoid the temptation to nudge it before it releases from the pan, then allow it to get deeply golden before flipping. (And if you'd prefer to use skinless, boneless thighs that's fine too, just adjust the cooking time as they will cook faster.)
